What exactly is cyber warfare? This book provides fascinating and often disturbing information on the vast global network of nationalists and criminals that prey on unsuspecting victims via the Internet everyday - a topic that anyone who goes online needs to know. More than 3,000 years ago, the Silk Road was the primary means of commerce from the Middle East through Central Asia, India, and China. Today, many of the countries along that famous route are still connected through cyber crime, espionage, and warfare. Written by a private researcher who consults with law enforcement and various military agencies, Inside Cyber Warfare reveals the underbelly of this network. You'll learn about its sophisticated hierarchy defined by expertise, the thriving economy in the buying and selling of malware and passwords, geopolitical affiliations, and hosting networks from Moscow to Plano, Texas. You'll also learn about the malware development process, network attack strategies, and alarming new trends among nationalists and criminals. This isn't a fiction thriller. It's a vital reference for security, law enforcement, military, and intelligence professionals worldwide - and anyone with an interest in the dangers online that lurk just beneath the surface.
